Hellshroom

Hellshrooms are mushrooms that thrive in high temperature locations, like deserts.

Description
Hellshrooms are found in hot places, like deserts or near lava lakes. They are given this name because of that reason, not because of any association with hell. They often grow in clusters of 3-6. They will instantly loose there powers when exposed to room temperature, losing there glow in the process. This does not apply to desert nights as they can seek heat deep beneath the sand.

Properties
Hellshrooms are soft, and actually harmless to touch. They can and should be eaten raw, because they will loose there powers when cooked. The spots on it constantly flicker softly in the night, which makes it a bit easier to find. Hellshrooms are unaffected by water, except when it is cold. Aside from the power you get when eating a Hellshroom and its looks, it is no different from ordinary mushrooms, and can be used as a mushroom substitute.

Abilities
Hellshrooms give the eater immunity to sudden temperature rising for about 5 minutes. This means that the user can come in contact with fires or any hot temperatures without being harmed. Take note: this only applies to hot temperatures, not cold ones. Eating the head of the mushroom gives the powers, not the stalk.

Brewing

 * Brewing procedure: Throw the Hellshroom into the cauldron. Split the fire crystal in two and throw both halves into the cauldron. Boil the cauldron and mix the two. Stir the cauldron for about 2 minutes. The mixture would release a large amount of smoke when done.
